For lunch, or forever? To go the discount mall for a few hours or to live cross country? Any child? The parent or someone else?

I not only take my child regularly to shows, shopping and museums out of state, we have also traveled internationally on about 5 trips. Next month we'll accompany hubby for a long weekend in Miami. So what? FYI- She's 7

Maybe a more detailed question might help a tad? WHO "removing" a child? For what purpose and for how long?

detailed enough


Well, I'm married, I live in Az, I have 3 kids and I want to leave to New Mexico. My husband and I have not been getting along for a while now and I want to leave. I don't have any family anywhere in Az (they're all in NM), so I have nowhere else to get away. I don't want to take our kids that far away from their daddy, but with all the fighting I really think it would be best if we were apart for a while. So what I want to know is, what are the laws about me leaving, is it considered kidnapping?

No, its not kidnapping. However, if dad were to rush to court and convince a judge to order you to return the children to AZ, and you did not comply, THEN it would be kidnapping.

Either get a lawyer and go through the process of a devorce, but that will take some time. Your other choice is talk to your husband and tell him you think that you and him need to spend some time apart and that it would be best to take the children with you and take you'll make agrangments for him to see te kids.
